The question is about simplifying delivery of historical data.
Did you have a question?
If SC only has 1-min "trade" data - that would be of almost no use (for backtesting): trades do not happen often in a particular strike, and so the last trade tick might be too old to be meaningful.
The type of historical data available (ticks and/or M1 for any security type) depends on:
1) If applicable, your Sierra Chart Service Package type
2) If applicable, your Sierra Chart Data or Historical Data service
3) If applicable, your broker that Sierra Chart is connected to, and the type of historical service it provides.
As you can see, there are many confounding variables here.
In any case, the plugin does both ticks and M1 for any security type, if available on DTC.
